ue! It's time for breakfast!" There was a patter of bare feet in one room. Then a little voice called. "Oh, Bunny! I'm up first. Come on, we'll go and help grandma feed the chickens!" Little Sue Brown tapped on the door of her brother's room. "Get up, Bunny!" she cried, laughing. "I'm up first; Let's go and get the eggs." In the room where Bunny Brown slept could be heard a sort of grunting, stretching, yawning sound. That was the little boy waking up. He heard what his sister Sue said. "Ho! Ho!" he laughed, as he rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Go to get eggs with grandma! I guess you think we're back on grandpa's farm; don't you Sue?" and he came to his door to look out into the hall, where his mother stood smiling at the two children. When Bunny said that, Sue looked at him in surprise. She rubbed her hand across her eyes once or twice, glanced around the hall, back into her room, and then at her mother. A queer look was on Sue's face. "Why--why!" she exclaimed. "Oh, why, Bunny Brown! That's just what I did think!

Mrs. Brown went down stairs, leaving Bunny and Sue to dress by themselves, for they were old enough for that now. "Oh, Bunny!" exclaimed the little girl, as she went back in her own room. "I really did think, when I first woke up, that we were back at Grandpa Brown's, and that we were going out to help grandma feed the hens." "Do you wish we were, Sue?" asked Bunny. "Oh, I don't know, Bunny," said Sue slowly. "I did like it at grandma's, and we had lots of fun playing circus. But I like it at home here, too." "So do I," said Bunny, as he started to get dressed. The two children, with their father and mother, had come back, only the day before, from a long visit to Grandpa Brown's, in the country. I'll tell you about that a little later. So it is no wonder that Sue, awakening from the first night's sleep in her own house, after the long stay in the country, shou
